## Kuvaus

AC Print + Email adds a simple Print link and a lightweight Email dropdown to posts,
pages, and archive views.

It is designed for sites that value clarity, accessibility, and user trust over 
analytics-heavy sharing widgets and third-party services.

The plugin uses:
 * The browser’s native print dialog * The visitor’s own email 
provider or mail client * A copy-link fallback for universal compatibility

No emails are sent from your server.
 No tracking pixels are injected. No external
APIs are required.

### Philosophy: Human-first sharing

Most sharing plugins today are built around tracking, engagement metrics, and external
networks.

AC Print + Email is built around people.

This plugin follows a few simple principles:

 * **Use tools users already trust**
    Printing uses the browser’s native print dialog.
   Email opens in the user’s own mail provider or mail app.
 * **Avoid third-party services**
    No URL shorteners, redirect chains, or external
   dashboards.
 * **Respect privacy by default**
    No analytics, no tracking pixels, no background
   requests.
 * **Separate user intent**
    Printing and emailing are distinct actions with different
   expectations and behaviors.
 * **Stay out of the way**
    The toolbar is minimal, theme-agnostic, and designed
   to blend into content.

This approach mirrors how the early web worked: direct, understandable, and user-
controlled.

### Features

 * Live admin preview panel
 * No dependencies
 * No tracking
 * No advertisements

### Placement & Theme Compatibility

By default, the toolbar is automatically injected into supported content.

For older or heavily customized themes, you may prefer **Shortcode only** placement,
which gives you full control over where the toolbar appears.

Use the shortcode: [ac_print_email]

This mode avoids layout conflicts and is recommended for legacy or custom templates.

### Why this plugin does NOT send email from your server

Sending email from a WordPress server introduces complexity, privacy concerns, and
deliverability issues.

AC Print + Email intentionally avoids server-side email so that:
 * Emails are sent
by the user, not your site * SPF and DKIM issues are avoided * User expectations
are respected * Privacy is preserved

If you need server-side email campaigns, this plugin is not designed to replace 
that functionality.

### Accessibility

Accessibility is treated as a first-class feature.

The toolbar supports:
 * Full keyboard navigation * Proper focus management * ARIA-
expanded and ARIA-live announcements * Screen-reader friendly labels and feedback

### Usage

The toolbar can be automatically injected into content, or placed manually using
a shortcode: [ac_print_email]

### License

This plugin is licensed under the GPLv2 or later.
